“Death paused. YOU HAVE PERHAPS HEARD THE PHRASE, he said, THAT HELL IS OTHER PEOPLE?
‘Yes. Yes, of course.�
Death nodded. IN TIME, he said, YOU WILL LEARN THAT IT IS WRONG.”
― Terry Pratchett, Small Gods

“Gods didn’t mind atheists, if they were deep, hot, fiery, atheists like Simony, who spend their whole life hating gods for not existing. That sort of atheism was a rock. It was nearly belief â€�”
― Terry Pratchett, Small Gods

“Vimes was hazy on religion. He attended Watch funerals and went to such religious events as the proper fulfilling of the office of Commander entailed, but as for the rest . . . well, you saw things sometimes that made it impossible to believe not only in gods, but also in common humanity and your own eyes.”
― Terry Pratchett

“Your god. Why a rat?â€�
Zale shrugged. “Why not a rat? Rats are smart and they travel with humans, but they are neither our servants nor our prey. They eat the food that we eat, they live within our homes. Who better to understand us?”
― T. Kingfisher, Swordheart

“Thesis plus antithesis equals hysteresis." -Ibid-”

“Here are seven angels, one with peacock feathers for wings and a crown, but no devil. And here also is God, behind it all, who created both Himself and them, whereby everything else was created. Yet there are other things as well, you must remember—things which have always been, which fools without true religion sometimes choose to worship, or trick themselves into worshipping. Small gods for small minds, trapped in small places. And while these creatures' scope is narrow, as with all half-made things, their reach can be long, long . . . just so long as their names are still known in this world, so they may hear them whispered somewhere, recognize themselves, and come calling. . . .”
― Gemma Files, Experimental Film

“The book said that people were small gods filled with the power of the Almighty and able to enact their own lives, dispense wisdom and justice.”
― Jenny Ackland, Little Gods

“In the Citadel everyone said it was a glorious victory', said Brutha.
[...]
'That's a funny thing', said Om. 'Winners never talk about glorious victories. That's because they're the ones who see what the battlefield looks like afterwards. It's only the losers who have glorious victories.”
― Terry Pratchett, Small Gods

“There are billions of gods in the world. They swarm as thick as herring roe. Most of them are too small to see and never get worshiped, at least by anything bigger than bacteria, who never say their prayers and don't demand much in the way of miracles.

They are the small gods--the spirits of places where two ant trails cross, the gods of microclimates down by the grass roots.”
― Terry Pratchett, Small Gods
